Our football match prediction:
New York Red Bulls
Match Time & Date:
30/10/2017
23:00 GMT
Prediction: 1-2
Toronto FC
All eyes will be on Red Bull Arena when New York Red Bulls and Toronto square off against each other in the Eastern Conference semis. The Metros hammered Chicago Fire at Toyota Park in midweek and they will be looking to build on the triumph when they face the last season’s runners up in Tuesday’s football match. Bradley Wright-Phillips just can’t stop scoring and the New York Red Bulls top scorer is likely to prove a handful for the opposition defenders. However, seeing that Toronto impressed in the regular season, we do not believe that there is a big value in betting on the hosts. The attacking partnership of Jozy Altidore and Sebastian Giovinco has been in a perfect working order this term and we predict that the Reds are going to prove their worth on the field. In their last meeting in MLS Toronto recorded a 4-2 win over New York, meaning that away win should be considered.
Highlighted Player (Felipe):
Felipe Campanholi Martins is a Brazilian footballer who was born on September 30, 1990 in Engenheiro Beltrao. After playing for the likes of PSTC-Londrina, Atletico Catarinense and Campo Grande during his youth career, he started his senior career at Padova. The Brazilian midfielder appeared in no more than four league matches for the Italian club and in 2009 he moved to Switzerland, signing a deal with FC Winterthur. At the end of the season he joined fellow Swiss Super League club Lugano and he quickly established himself as a first-team regular. In the winter of 2011 Felipe moved to MLS, signing a deal with expansion team Montreal Impact. He scored his first MLS goal in a 2-0 win over Sporting Kansas City on May 5, 2012 and he has been playing an important role in the team ever since. Felipe has yet to represent Brazil at senior level, but he could play for Canada national team in the future as he applied for permanent residency.
Highlighted Team (Toronto FC):
Toronto are a club based in Canada, but they have been competing in Major League Soccer since 2007. Maple Leaf Sports & Entertainment own both the soccer club and National Hockey League’s Toronto Maple Leafs. BMO Field is the club’s home ground and the capacity of the stadium is 30.000. The Canadian outfit impressed in the 2016 MLS Cup and they faced Seattle Sounders in the title game at BMO Field. However, the Canadians were more than unfortunate not to lift the silverware as they were beaten by the Sounders on penalties. Speaking of the Canadian Championship, Toronto FC won their fifth domestic title in 2016, with the team beating Vancouver Whitecaps in the final of the tournament. Montreal Impact are considered the club’s biggest rivals and there have always been fireworks in meetings between the two Canadian sides. Toronto FC’s home kit is red and it is no surprise they are nicknamed the Reds. It has to be noted that the club was founded back in 2005.
